Struggling to find trousers that fit just right? Whether commercial patterns don’t quite work for you or store-bought options fall short, this two-day workshop (total 13 hours) is here to change that!

Designed for confident sewists with experience using commercial patterns, this hands-on class will guide you through creating a personalised trouser block tailored to your unique measurements.

Friday 1st May/Saturday 2nd May 2026 10am-5pm

Over the 2 days, you’ll:
✨ Analyse fit issues in your existing trousers (handmade or ready-to-wear).
✨ Learn how to take precise body measurements.
✨ Draft a custom trouser block from scratch.
✨ Sew and fit a toile, adjusting for a custom fit.
✨ Transfer those adjustments to a paper pattern and create a durable card block.
✨ Use your block to design bespoke trouser patterns and modify commercial ones.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a custom fitting trouser block and the skills to draft and fit trousers with confidence. Ready to elevate your sewing game? Join us!

Class sizes for pattern drafting classes are set to a maximum of 6 students. This means more space in the studio for students and more individual time with the tutor.
